Professor Marek Krawczyk, leading transplant surgeon and Rector of the Medical University of Warsaw (MUW), tells “Polish Market” about the university’s involvement in public and academic projects promoting transplantology, ties between science and industry and innovation, and its unique Pre-clinical Testing and Technology Centre (CePT).
Q: Almost 60% of all investment in Poland goes into intellectual resources. WUM is also in the course of a major project – a Pre-clinical Testing Centre. How will it help raise the transfer of new technology from research labs to the economy?
A: We laid the cornerstone under the centre last September, the ceremony was attended by Science and Higher Education Minister Barbara Kudrycka. Its main task will be high-grade research on innovatory technologies and solutions which will then be introduced into industry.

In its work as a knowledge, technology transfer and innovation promoter the centre will constitute part of a Europewide research system.
